ARB.
4x4 equipment built around the whole journey.
ARB grew from Tony Brown’s Melbourne garage in 1975, making equipment to meet the demands of Australian four-wheel driving. Today its wider range brings together vehicle protection, Air Locker differentials, compressors, load carrying and camping equipment. That breadth is its appeal: the vehicle, the gear it carries and the place you stop are all part of the same trip. At Hoonies, explore ARB protection, recovery, onboard air, storage and touring accessories, with suspension choices also available through Old Man Emu. Whether you are preparing for weekends away or a longer expedition, start with the jobs your vehicle needs to do and build a compatible setup around them.
Vehicle equipment · Air and tractionWhy we choose ARB
We choose ARB because it offers a practical way to plan beyond a single accessory. Protection, traction, storage and camp equipment can be considered together, while individual products let you build in stages. Its long focus on four-wheel driving gives the range a clear purpose: equipping a vehicle for the conditions and equipment a trip involves. For customers, that means meaningful choices around space, mounting, electrical supply and carried load.
A whole-vehicle approach
ARB’s range connects the working parts of a touring build, from underbody protection and recovery equipment to racks, canopies and camp gear. Planning those areas together helps you make better use of the available space and account for the weight and mounting needs of the equipment you intend to carry.
Air and traction with a defined job
An Air Locker provides selectable differential locking, while a compressor can serve tyre inflation or the locker’s air supply, depending on the model and installation. These are different requirements. Choosing the compressor, plumbing and differential application as a system makes the intended use clear before you commit to the parts.
Equipment for the stop as well as the drive
A touring vehicle earns its keep when you arrive, too. ARB’s storage, shelter and camp equipment give you ways to organise the gear and make the stop more useful. Consider access to the load area, roof space and power needs alongside the journeys you want to make.
- Set the priorities Decide what you need for work, travel and off-road use.

ARB questions, answered
Can I build an ARB setup in stages?
Yes. Plan the eventual equipment first so that mounting, wiring and load requirements are considered before the first purchase.
Will every ARB accessory work with every ARB product?
No. Check the named rack, canopy, compressor or vehicle application and the included mounting parts.
